Abstract

Irradiation of ZnO:Al thin film by reactor neutrons with neutron/gamma ratio at 1.44x10(4) (n.cm(-2).s(-1).mR(-1)) leads to a decrease in resistivity in this material. The observed effects in electrical resistivity are attributed to irradiation-induced formation of defects in the ZnO:Al thin film structure.
